Travelling down this dusty road
Taking some time to be alone
You see, I was given the old heave-ho, adis by telephone
She said we had some good times
And that I should get on with my life
She was busy making plans to be someone else's wife

CHORUS:
I've been throwing good love after bad love
Throwing diamonds after pearls
Throwing all my hopes and all my dreams
Into someone else's girl

Well, I must have been mistaken
Thinking we were even friends
Throwing good love after bad love once again
You know it hit me like a ton of bricks
She really knocked me to the floor
Cos my heart's in her bag of tricks
With the key to my front door
Guess I had it coming
When you're in love you're unaware
I never had to pick her up
She always met me there

(CHORUS)

I guess she was looking for some part-time recreation
Another lesson in this old heart's education
Well, I must have been mistaken
Thinking we were even friends
Throwing good love after bad love once again
